Description:
Cell adhesion has an essential role in regulating proliferation during the G1 phase of the cell cycle, and loss of this adhesion requirement is a classic feature of oncogenic transformation. The appearance of cyclin A messenger RNA and protein in late G1 was dependent on cell adhesion in both NRK and NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. In contrast, the expression of Cdc2, Cdk2, cyclin D1, and cyclin E was independent of adhesion in both cell lines. Transfection of NRK cells with a cyclin A complementary DNA resulted in adhesion-independent accumulation of cyclin A protein and cyclin A-associated kinase activity. These transfected cells also entered S phase and complete multiple rounds of cell division in the absence of cell adhesion. Thus, cyclin A is a target of the adhesion-dependent signals that control cell proliferation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Guadagno, T M -- Ohtsubo, M -- Roberts, J M -- Assoian, R K -- GM48224/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Dec 3;262(5139):1572-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, Columbia University, New York, NY 10032.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8248807" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
